Strawberry-Cream

Hey, Jagged Alliance and all its various sequels are currently pretty cheap on GOG (www.gog.com). I actually picked up a copy of the core game again (for the ease of having one stored digitally and to run fire-and-forget rather than having to fiddle with DosBox myself), and immediately got sucked back into the addiction... I think the fiancée is starting to get jealous of the time I spend in company of Ivan, Grunty and Speck on Metavira island...

You sure you wanna wish me luck? You know that once I pass the exam, I'm gonna lord it over all the americans .

I had an idea for maybe something healery, but coming to think of it, I think I'm kidding myself by pretending I can regularly post and attend, as much as I would love to play with the lot of you again. My current schedule however is haphazard at best. If things clear up in 2 weeks after my CPE exams, I'll call back, just steam full ahead without me *salutes*.

Oh yes. eraser loves to poke fun at my non-efficient characters that waste credits and ability score points on annoying things like immersive, developed, holistic background and personality . But no, don't see what she or even my mafia fencer would have to do here .

*rubs chin* I suppose that leaves a proper sneak open?

So what party roles are covered yet? 8)

Well hello, so what is this...

Ugh. I suppose I'm one of those "untrained idiot euros", but mate, those were some uncalled for, and in the first case cowardish, ad hominems. Now apologize, hug and make up .

I just thought I'd share this... http://www.e-motionaldesign.com/blog/nazi-robot-attack/ I quite like the animation. Of course it's rather unrealistic - everyone knows it would take at least 5 american bots to take the nazi one down...

Great... I'll be gone 16th to 19th. I might be able to check by during that time though - not sure yet. Joe has my full confidence that he can move Sylvaine along as to not stall the game.

See, that's why I asked for an ooc overview, it's been a while. kk, disregard the post then.

Pursing her lips ever so cutely, Sylvaine hesitantly opens them to speak... closes them again and just stares out of the window. OOC: Any convo or anything else, or we arriving at Corrie's place?

OOC: Can we get a quick situational overview where who is? I assume we're all riding in hector's truck thing, but I don't want to fall completely off ^^. Sylvaine's head perks up a moment at the call, her eyes definetely betraying her curiosity, but she turns away again and doesn't ask, content for now to watch the houses at the sidewalks floating by.

I would totally agree... apart from the darned TZ's...

Sounds interesting. What's the deal with the V2? I mean, we haven't been toying with them since Penemünde got shut down. Seriously, I don't assume you mean the nazi rockets...? CP2020, as in, 2nd edition? Hrrr.

Say guys, also on a different note, how are your timeslots currently. Since my class-free time just began, I was wondering if perhaps we could maybe speed things up a bit by meeting in chat (or some chat) from time to time - might help to sort out everyone and how to start again, as well as give a bump when the game slows to a drag... or combat . What do you think? In my experience board games die down very quickly if you don't give a lil jolt from time to time, and that may just be it...

Joe will have to correct me on this... I would say roleplay is the main focus, but combat has a place - it'll probably be fast and lethal, as you would expect with CP. I don't think we're going to shoot around with bazookas, considering this a somewhat "social" setting, but we already had a handgun firefight. I have to get back to that later, I'm currently inside another game . Again, Joe would have to correct me... the rule is each layer adds one to the EV, and basically he doesn't want us to run around like the michelin man. I think appearing in combat spec armor

Hey erc, try this thread in this forum: http://vfte.cyberpunk.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=3402 Hope that helps, if you have any more specific questions, I'm sure we're all glad to help .

Would defo work for me. Hector seemed fun, though he's an über tank of doom ^^... but we might just need that, lol. Oh by the way: I updated the pics in Sylv's thread, when eraser just linked it I noticed some links didn't work anymore. Should be fine now. Man, now we just need to find Companero and persuade him to pick up tundrapunk again...

That would be a decent plan, if not for robbing the "core" party of a motor. Lolly-pop is basically a kid and Sylvaine is no pro in any sense of the word, us showing up for a "job" like that would just be a laughing stock without someone to call the shots we can tag along with, would be my guess. *grins* In other words, Sylvaine's not Patrizia .

Cool! Do we jump right into the old thread then when Q. gives the go... or start off fresh with maybe a lil' summary to freshen things up (and a line for the new guy)?

I have no strong opinion one way or the other. I'm happy with Sylvaine and would likely keep her, as for the game, I am more than satisfied if it keeps the style Q was aiming for. So interaction is definetely welcome. Just go with what floats the majority's boat.

I'd be game.

I actually wanted to stay with Li, however I might think of something if she won't fit in the new group anymore. As for char creation discussion, switch pickup skills from int+ref to a standard 15 to not make overemphasizing on ref too tempting, it's the damn most important stat in the bloody game anyway .

Sounds cool... yes I think we knew each other Wraith and were the team of 1-syllable-labels . Eraser was some guy named Hollywood I think... Fresh start should let us get order into our thoughts, and DS can tell us the pre-story if he wants to save some plot knowledge over .
